About Transect

Transect operates as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) firm, offering a platform that expedites the environmental due diligence process for development projects. The company was conceptualized in 2016 and officially founded in January 2017 by CEO Robin Laine. Laine, a former field biologist, identified inefficiencies in the traditional method of conducting desktop environmental research and delivering static, time-consuming reports. This firsthand experience in environmental consulting, surveying thousands of acres for resources like endangered species and wetlands, directly informed the creation of Transect.

Read full description

The company's core business revolves around its software platform that provides real-time natural resources due diligence. This service is designed to significantly reduce the time required for site assessments from weeks or months down to minutes. Transect's business model is subscription-based, generating revenue by providing access to its tools and reports. The platform serves a diverse client base across industries such as renewable energy (solar, wind, storage), oil and gas, real estate, engineering, and utilities. Notable clients include GE Renewable Energy and Plains All American Pipeline.

Transect's platform provides detailed summaries of environmental data, outlines permitting pathways, and offers recommendations to inform project decisions. Key features include tools for identifying environmental risks like impacts on wildlife and wetlands, accessing data on geological features and utility infrastructure, and understanding tribal and cultural regulations. The platform also offers a product called "Solar Pulse" to help de-risk solar projects and an integration with Terabase PlantPredict for production capacity modeling. By automating much of the initial assessment, the company aims to help clients avoid unforeseen delays and costs, allowing them to make faster, more informed decisions on site selection.
